"The Matrix is a system, Neo, and that system is our enemy. When you are inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters, the very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are part of that system and that makes them our enemies. You have to understand most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many are so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it." --Morpheus in ‘The Matrix'
4 years, 2 months, 13 days, 8 hours, 25 minutes, 40 seconds until the Mayan end of Age. December 21 2012 (11:11am GMT). The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to 3114 BC August 11 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT-correlation" JDN = 584283). The Long Count b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Stela 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed. However, it is conjectured that this may represent in the Maya belief system a transition from the current Creation world into the next. The 2012 Winter Solstice will also occur on this day at 11:11 UTC. --wikipedia . See also "When you get old, the only things you remember are the things you dared to do and the things you didn't dare to do. All the daily stuff, the things you had to do, the things someone paid you to do, blur into the nothingness of 'unimportant to your soul', and when you look back on your life you only see the dreams you made happen and the dreams you were afraid to pursue." --P.J. Gaenir's grandfather

"We foster an environment of constructive peer review, the philosophy being the more active members out there thinking, observing and collecting evidence, the more likely someone is to produce something substantial and the more we all collectively learn. Another way to look at it: Every family has an eccentric member or two; we're the place where all those folks can collectively hang out and feel at home."
BRIEF: A 14-mile parade of wounded soldiers SUMMARY: With numerous battles going on, vying for best position, this place quickly became a bloody mess. BRIEF: Colonial estate complete with apparitions... SUMMARY: In colonial America, Raynham Hall was the family home of the Townsends. During the American Revolution the estate, like many others, housed British soldiers.
One of them was the now infamous Major John Andre. His ghost has been seen in the house many times since his death. BRIEF: The positively massive Masonic structure houses ghosts and plenty more SUMMARY: This huge, gothic edifice was built in 1922 for the Masons, with the cornerstone being set using the same trowel that George Washington used to set the cornerstone of the United States Capitol in Washington D.C. Its 14 floors and 1,037 rooms house 50 masonic organizations, and, according to some, a fair amount of paranormal activity. BRIEF: Hotel which dates to the 18th Century is haunted by those who once graced it's rooms SUMMARY: The hotel dates back to the Revolutionary War days. The Hotel is reportedly haunted by figure from it passed. People have heard strange noises and voices, and have seen ghostly apparition wearing period clothing. BRIEF: visible Bloodstains on a tombstone SUMMARY: Graveyard where a Tombstone is spattered with blood and an entity lurking just out of visual range. BRIEF: Rumor of a haunting in a castle built on the side of Warm Springs Ridge overlooking Berkeley Springs WV SUMMARY: The castle was built by wealthy Maryland businessman Samuel Taylor Suit for his young bride, Rosa, in 1885. Rosa spent the family silver on throwing lavish parties and died in poverty. It is thought her spirit still lurks in the castle, a faded shell of its former grandeur.
… BRIEF: The Salem Witch Trials SUMMARY: The events which led to the Witch Trials actually occurred in what is now the town of Danvers, then a parish of Salem Town, known as Salem Village. Launching the hysteria was the bizarre, seemingly inexplicable behavior of two young girls; the daughter, Betty, and the niece, Abigail Williams, of the Salem Village minister, Reverend Samuel Parris. BRIEF: "Abide the echoes." A phantom car will keep you waiting and waiting. SUMMARY: Twisting and turning, Game Preserve Road drops and twists treacherously under an old underpass that appears to be made of rough-hewn granite. It's neat, constanly dripping water, and, if you stand under it, awfully creepy. SUMMARY: A choking ghost haunts this restaurant. BRIEF: During spring season there is a giant puddle under the NANA museum from all the melted snow. SUMMARY: During spring season there is a giant puddle under the NANA museum from all the melted snow. BRIEF: A steep hill; a bad accident. SUMMARY: Black Rock Mill is reportedly haunted by two teenage ghosts who were killed when their car went out of control on the narrow and winding road that drops as it approaches the Black Rock Mill. Their ghostly apparitions and overturned car lights have been seen on dark nights.
If you honk your horn a few times the spirits are seen rising from the stream and then knock on your car door.
A pair of bright headlights have been seen coming down the narrow road and then disappear. BRIEF: Almshouse complex at Route 611. SUMMARY: Almshouse complex at Route 611. This complex was used as the Bucks County Almshouse from 1810 to 1966. Several of the old buildings are still standing. SUMMARY: One hundred years ago Betsy Shifler was murdered. She was murdered in the middle of the night for thousands of dollars that she hid in her home. The murderer set her house on fire to cover the crime scene. In 1901 the local town's papers ran this story for months. People came from miles to sift through the ashes looking for lost treasures and for Betsy's bones. No bones or body were ever found. No one was ever charged with murder. People say that Betsy is still haunting the area looking for her lost treasures and she is angry that her murderer was never caught. Betsy lived in Locust Grove which is west of Middletown and south of Boonsboro and North of Pleasant Valley BRIEF: Patient beware. SUMMARY: This institution was founded in 1797, making it the second oldest insane asylum in the Nation. BRIEF: Ghostly cries for help SUMMARY: The park is haunted by the apparition of a young woman which wears an old fashioned bathing suit. BRIEF: Katina haunts this ancient house SUMMARY: The Thornton family was among the early 18th century settlers on the falls of the Rappahannock River. They named their home, plainly enough, "The Falls."
The Thorntons soon enough built another house, more elegant, and named it "Fall Hill." That estate has been passed down to the descendants of the Thornton family and is known to be haunted by ghostly apparitions seen walking throughout the house and on the grounds. BRIEF: Fate, intertwined SUMMARY: There is a pond located away from the road, down a steep hill. There are two trees located at the pond who branches are intertwined with each other. People say that you will get very strange feelings if you walk under those twisted limbs. Some people claim that they feel a sense of pressure around arms and shoulders.
